Construction for Comox Valley Development to start next Month


A development permit was issued by Cumberland council which will allow the Vancouver Island and Coast Discovery centre to move forward.

The permit not only allows for the building of the Discovery Centre; but also six ancillary buildings which are expected to include restaurants and tourism related retail businesses.

Trilogy will be developing the six ancillary buildings and it also has the option to purchase hundreds of acres of land that surrounds the Discovery Centre in the Comox Valley.

Trilogy received rezoning approval from Cumberland that will allow for a vast Vancouver Island residential and commercial development on the lands. It is expected that by late September or early October a marketing launch will occur for the Comox Valley residential and commercial development.

John Evans, CEO of Trilogy stated that his company is to donate the land where the Discovery Centre will be situated. Evans’ expects the centre will initiate the larger Comox Valley project.

According to the staff report on the development permit, the Discovery Centre in Cumberland will be just over 7,000 square feet and the ancillary buildings will include 11,500 square feet of retail and 7,500 square feet of restaurant space.

An additional 8,400 square feet of restaurants or drive-thrus are proposed for phase two of the Vancouver Island project.

Construction of the Comox Valley Discovery Centre is expected to begin next month.
